Thank you!

Edit:
Maybe not a chocolate, wondering if its an orange shoulder juv. @vetteguy53081 ?

Interesting. The shape of the fins doesn’t look to me like an orange shoulder juvenile. Really hoping for a chocolate but there’s several of these little guys that are very similar at this age. It is about 1.75 inches from nose to tip so very small still.

Yeah I dont know! Its body looks longer than the chocolate juveniles. Either way they are all beautiful as adults!

Agreed, I love them all so no regrets either way. He’s a very sweet little guy thus far.

Pyroferus is the species you have - the other two have clear juveniles with Tristis being the only mimic to eibli but Chronixis sharing the half black mimic with Pyroferus.

If it was an Orange Shoulder even the small juveniles have that orange shoulder and yours is lacking it.
